Are China and Mexico stealing jobs?

Answer 1

If you were part of any labor-intensive industry, the owner of such industry would seek lower production costs by relocating to China or Mexico. However, the Mexican case is a bit special, as both countries manufacture things together; this is incorrectly seen as "jobs migrating south of the border". For example, Mexico assembles a car with American-made engines and Mexican-made interiors. In this case, production is not only providing for jobs in Mexico, but also boosting jobs in the U.S. while keeping low costs for the Mexican and American consumers alike.
